It's not up to Zac Taylor. It's not even up to Mike Brown. It's up to Geno to decide when he wants to have surgery, and no one else. Whether he's playing for incentives (which he probably is) or whether he is putting it off because we are out of DT's no one really knows. Bottom line, it's Geno's decision.

True, it's Geno's decision to have surgery now vs later vs not at all, but it's the team's decision to put him on IR.
